Saved by the Princes


Charmaine Ross - 2019
    My second warning should have been when I was the only girl whose foot actually fit the shoe amongst all of the stunning beauties. There wasn’t a third warning. Just my friend’s glee when she tapped me on the head with a magic wand and I was transported into a fairy tale castle and came face to face with three of the most handsome men on which I’d ever laid eyes. You might think that would be a fairy tale come true for a down-and-out waitress like me. But you’d think wrong, because as soon as I was introduced to the Queen, she accused me of high treason. My Princes broke me out of the castle and now we’re on the run, hunted by the Queen’s guards and horrifying magical abominations. They told me I was the only one strong enough to bring magic back to their dying kingdom, but I can’t even light a candle. They told me I was their Fated Mate, but I don’t feel any bond. They told me they were all mine, but how could three stunning men want me? And now, my Princes have been taken. I have no magic – and I’m the only one who can save them from the terrible wrath of the Queen. They put their faith in the wrong girl. I should have heeded the first warning.
